Congratulations to the Winners of the "Future School for Ukraine" Competition! 🏆
Congratulations to the winners of the "Future School for Ukraine" competition! The visionary design by SSA - Scandurra Studio Architettura (Italy) in collaboration with @Mykhailo Vustianskyi (#Ukraine) has been selected for its innovative approach to creating a sustainable, inspiring, and functional space for education in #Ukraine. "It was incredibly rewarding and inspiring to witness such a diverse range of participants and the outstanding quality of entries. The competition presented a complex challenge, as we aimed to meet the standards of modern educational paradigms and European quality expectations for learning environments, while also addressing the unique Ukrainian context—its culture, legal framework, and, of course, the current war. We have great confidence in this project, as it aligns with the #NewEuropeanBauhaus principles: aesthetics, sustainability, and inclusiveness. The competition brief and entries were co-created with Ukrainian experts to ensure they meet local needs. Now, we’re moving into the next phase: the technical design by the first-place winners will be completed by spring 2025 and made freely available to Ukrainian communities. Meanwhile, efforts are underway to secure donors to fund the construction of these schools in Ukraine. Given the extensive damage inflicted on Ukraine's educational infrastructure by Russia, we envision the 'Future School for Ukraine' project being adapted to various locations and implemented on a wide scale, potentially over a hundred times." stated Ruta Leitanaiteė Board member of Architects Association of Lithuania , Chair and Coordinator of the project "UREHERIT. Architects for heritage in Ukraine", Initiator of the NEB LAB "Public infrastructure for Ukraine"and Coordinator of the architectural competition "Future school for Ukraine".
